30 x 22 Oil on Canvas Portrait




I'm nearing completion of this portrait and am wondering about the strength of the focal point. Is the color too muddied by the cool paint in the cheek?

Cool color in face

Nice portrait. I love the cool on the cheek. However, I do not like the cool beneath the mouth...it doesn't look healthy - on my monitor screen anyway. Your placement is good and your center of interest is right on target.
